BATTErY MOduLE SErviCE LiFE

Since NiMH Batteries are designed for multiple cycles of charging
and discharging, the expected cycle life of the Battery Module is
at minimum 500 cycles utilizing proper discharging and charging
procedures .
When the service time (use time between charges) of the
Battery Module is significantly reduced, the service life of the
Battery Module is exceeded and should be replaced with a new
Chattanooga Battery Module .
Never attempt to rebuild the Battery Module .
Properly dispose of old Battery Module .
• NiMH Batteries contain Class E Corrosive materials . In the
event of battery cell rupture or leakage, handle Battery
Module wearing neoprene or natural rubber gloves . Contents
of a ruptured or leaking battery can cause respiratory
irritation . Hypersensitivity to nickel can cause allergic
pulmonary asthma . Contents of cell coming in contact with
skin can cause skin irritation and/or chemical burns .
• Never, under any circumstances, open the Battery Module
housing or cells . Should an individual cell from a battery
become disassembled, spontaneous combustion of the
negative electrode is possible . There can be a delay between
exposure to air and spontaneous combustion .
